Chapter 365: Eating and waiting to die
It can be seen that the situation in Fengdu is not very good.

The Lord of the Tenth Palace, Yan Jun, went to war and formed the Tenth Palace Ghost Army to continuously oppress and rule the ghost people.

Whether it is the world of heaven or the underworld, war consumes resources extremely.

Once a war breaks out, the burden on the ghost people will be even heavier.

What's more, Fengdu's position is very awkward. There is a secret bureau from the Middle Earth above. They guard the positions of the Curseless Road and various retrograde passages, suppressing the Fengdu ghost soldiers.

Further down, there are mysterious old gods trying to break out from the deepest part of the Uncursed Road.

Fengdu is like a sandwich bread, suffering from both ends.

It is estimated that the Lord of Hell of the Tenth Palace has no choice but to do his best to squeeze his ghost people and take advantage of the coming of the Age of Ending Law to find a way for Fengdu to survive.

The world is merciless, not only the human life is miserable, but also the ghosts are the same.

I sighed and followed Silently Hun'er.

Not knowing how long it took, Silly Hun'er turned into a narrow alley.

The light in this alley is very dark, and the souls floating in it are all dead.

When Silly Hun'er led me in, the group of dead souls stood up one after another, staring at the two of us with green eyes.

To be more precise, staring at me.

They don't understand why a zombie is here.

Even I felt uncomfortable being watched by so many ghosts.

The souls of the ghost people here are generally very weak, and the three souls and seven souls of some dead souls are even floating around and can escape almost at any time.

There are also a few dead souls standing nearby with malicious intentions. It seems that they are waiting for the dead souls to escape and fight for their souls to eat.

This kind of thing reminds me of the famine years when a poor man was leaning against a wall and about to starve to death, surrounded by a group of refugees waiting to eat his flesh.

Yep, that's how it feels.

This should be the slums of Yin Yang City.

Silly Hun'er was not surprised by everything here. He quickened his pace and walked through two streets in a row before finding a dead soul leaning against the corner and said: "Hang yourself, hang yourself!"

The hanged ghost was unstable and his tongue was hanging out very long.

When he heard someone shouting, he drooped his eyes and said, "Oh, you're a silly soul. I thought you had figured it out and wouldn't go back to Yin-Yang City."

"Are you saying that you have already left and are you coming back to wait for death?"

Silly Hun'er said: "Leaving the city and staying outside is a dead end."

"Hey! I have to ask you for some news."

He glanced around, lowered his voice and said, "I remember there is a retrograde passage near Yin Yang City!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three souls and seven souls of the Hanged Ghost trembled slightly.

He lowered his voice and said, "Silly Hun'er, are you looking for death?"

"The Age of Dharma Ending has not yet come. Anyone who inquires about the retrograde passage now will end up in a state of despair!"

"Don't ask me! I don't know!"

Although he said he didn't know, I still heard the meaning of the hanged man.

It's not that he doesn't know, but he doesn't dare to say it.

Silly Hun'er still wanted to speak, but I stretched out my hand to push him away and said, "You're about to lose your soul, aren't you?"

"Looking at the weak fluctuations in your soul, you must have been beaten. Why, can you still stand up now?"

The hanged ghost said angrily: "Zombie, do you have a role to speak here?"

Silly Hun'er was horrified to see it, but he knew that I was an exorcist, not a zombie.

What exorcist can bear being scolded like this by a hanged ghost who is about to lose his soul?

But I didn't take it seriously. I reached out and patted it, and a gray-white bead appeared in my palm.

"This is a soul-fixing pill made by the exorcists of Middle-earth. It is specially used by ghost-raisers."

When I said this, I didn't speak anymore.

But the Hanged Man's eyes immediately brightened.

Almost everyone knows that there are people raising ghosts in the Yang world.

Especially some people who are obsessed with death and are unwilling to let their loved ones leave them, so they leave their souls to accompany them.

But souls will also dissipate. In order to keep the souls of their loved ones alive, the exorcists of the Yang world tried their best to come up with such things as soul-fixing pills.

Although it is a product of the Yang world, it is the ghosts of the underworld who really need the soul-fixing pill.

You must know that the Soul-fixing Pill can resist the assimilation effect of geomagnetism on the soul body. In other words, as long as you have the Soul-fixing Pill, it is not impossible to survive in the wild even if you do not enter the city.

And it is even more effective for guys like hanged ghosts whose souls are almost dissipated. This is a life-saving elixir.So the tone of the Hanged Man's words became weaker: "You...you...you..."

I said casually: "When I was alive, I should have been an exorcist."

"Although he became a zombie and lost his previous memories, the things on his body are still there."

"Want it?"

The Hanged Man stretched his neck and said, "I want it!"

I smiled and said, "Where is the retrograde passage?"

The Hanged Ghost said hurriedly: "Mr. Corpse, I have to advise you on this matter. The retrograde passage is not possible now."

"That place is guarded by the ghost soldiers of the Wheel-Winning Hall. Before the new Wheel-Winning King is elected, they are directly taking orders from Emperor Fengdu."

"Don't get close there, you'll lose your mind!"

I said impatiently: "I just want the location."

"If you don't know, I'll ask someone else!"

The hanged man suddenly became anxious: "Don't! Don't! I said, is the soul-fixing pill mine?"

I casually threw the soul-fixing pill to the hanged man and said: "Looking at your potential, I will give you something first, and then you will answer!"

The silly soul next to him stared straight-eyed.

In the underground world, having a soul-fixing pill is equivalent to having an extra life.

Although this thing is very common in Yangshi, in Fengdu everyone really wants it.

The Hanged Ghost hurriedly took the soul-fixing pill and said, "Exit the Styx City Gate and walk upstream!"

"About thirty kilometers away, there is a strange stone forest, which is easy to identify!"

"When you see the strange stone forest, turn right. Remember, you must walk along the edge of the strange stone forest. You must not go in. The magnetic field inside will affect our souls."

"This strange stone forest is not far away. If you go to the end, you will find the ghost soldiers of the Wheel Palace."

"This is a restricted area. If any dead soul comes near, they will kill you directly, and then condense you into soul beads and eat them!"

"But Mr. Corpse, your soul-fixing pill will definitely be in vain. Because I know there is an underground passage that can bypass the ghost soldiers guarding the Wheel Palace."

"That's a passage drilled out by an earth dragon!"

The Hanged Ghost described in great detail the number, location, and specific locations of the ghost soldiers in the Zhuanlun Hall.

After finishing speaking, he reminded again: "Mr. Corpse, as far as I know, many people have tried to go to the Yangshi through the retrograde passage during this period, but no one can escape."

"If you really want to escape from here, you might as well consider the Kingdom of Ghosts!"

It’s the land of ghosts again.

I said: "Then don't bother!"

"Silly soul, follow me!"

Silly Hun'er knows my identity as an exorcist, so I don't feel safe leaving him here alone.If he went to report to the Ghost King of the Void Belly, he would be in trouble again.

Anyway, I know the location of the retrograde passage. When I return to Yangshi, I will go to my boss to ask about the news about the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Who would have thought that I had just turned around when a burst of frightened screams and yelling came from the entrance of the alley.

Someone said arrogantly: "Is this a street where you just eat and wait to die?"

"Come here! Catch them all and send them to the ghost cave to do hard labor!"

"His grandma doesn't pay taxes to the city lord. Do you think you can escape by hiding here?"

I turned around suddenly and found a group of ghost soldiers rushing over like wolves and tigers. They grabbed the ghosts and rushed out.

The ghosts cried loudly and were extremely miserable.

But the ghost soldiers were not merciless at all when they attacked. The whips in their hands even beat the two weak souls to pieces!

Silly Hun'er's face suddenly turned pale.

He said hurriedly: "Mr. Corpse, run! That's the law enforcement team!"

Not only him, but all the dead souls in the alley were in commotion.

The law enforcement team is the city lord's personal guard, specializing in collecting taxes.

The Ghost King of the Hungry Belly must have been short of resources and urgent. He was angry that these revenants were hiding in the city and did not go out to collect resources to pay taxes for himself, so he sent out a law enforcement team to arrest all these revenants who were waiting to die. To do hard work.

I can't be caught, otherwise I won't be able to return to the Yang world until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?
Just as he was about to run away with Silly Hun'er, there was a commotion at the other end of the street.

I immediately realized that the Ghost King of the Void Belly had spent a lot of money this time, and he was determined to let Lian Guo Duan eat and die.
